This straightforward three-ingredient salad from AlexandraCooks.com’s Alexandra Stafford makes creative use of one of spring’s most abundant vegetables, the radish. She notes that tossing the salad at the last minute helps preserve the color of the edamame and prevents the radishes from wilting.

INGREDIENTS

SERVES 2

2 serving Frozen Edamame

1/2 cup Red Onion

2 tbsp White Balsamic Vinegar

1 dash Kosher Salt

1 pinch Cane Sugar

10 large radishes Radish

2 tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil

DIRECTIONS

1Place a pot of water on to boil. When it boils, add the edamame and cook for about 2 minutes. Drain and run under cold water. Set aside.

2Finely dice your onion or shallot and place in a small bowl with the vinegar, a pinch of salt and a pinch of sugar (no more than 1/8 teaspoon). Set aside to macerate for about 15 minutes.

3Thinly slice the radishes or use a mandoline’s plane. Stack the circles on top of each other and slice straight down to get mini matchsticks.

4Just before serving, toss the edamame with the radishes and onions.

5Add two tablespoons of olive oil. Toss to coat. Taste and season with salt again.
